OVERVIEW
Saltwater Studies is excited to offer this full-year comprehensive marine science program for elementary school students that covers marine life commonly seen in Florida’s marine waters. This class series is designed as a two-year program so that topics are unique during that time frame. Students will meet for class once per month at the beach and learn about a different marine animal. Each year includes lessons on four vertebrate and four invertebrate marine animals. For the final class of the school year, students will enjoy a snorkeling tour in shallow nearshore waters where students can spot marine life discussed during the school year.
For each two-hour class, students will be provided with an overview of the monthly topic followed by a learning activity and beach adventure. During the first hour, a marine biologist will give a overview of the monthly topic supplemented by visual aids, opportunities for students to ask questions and view museum-quality visual aids and specimens. During the second hour, students will enjoy a hands-on learning activity such as a quiz game or experiment followed by a beach or water activity, depending on weather conditions. To supplement students’ in-class learning, each student will be provided with a supplemental curriculum workbook that includes a detailed lesson for each topic, allowing parents to review information at home outside of class. Each workbook lesson includes a graphic overview about the applicable topic, vocabulary, review questions and ideas for various learning activities. Podcasts for each lesson are also available so auditory learners can listen to the lesson being read while following along in their workbooks.
